The challenge to the audience in Jonson's major comedies is usually seen as an extension of the provocative techniques of English Morality drama. Professor Duncan aims to supplement that view by suggesting Jonson's methods originate in the practice of 'oblique teaching', which Erasmus and More developed out of their admiration for the Greek author Lucian.
